Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add the melted cheese mixture into the almond flour mixture along with the eggs.
Mix all the ingredients until a dough forms. If the dough is sticky, you can knead it with slightly wet hands to make it more manageable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then shape it into a bagel by pressing your thumb through the center to create a hole.
Place each bagel on the prepared baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the top of each bagel.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Once cooled, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese over the top of each bagel and sprinkle with chopped chives.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb bagels!
